Backup Care
Employer-funded or subsidized care helps employees cover sudden childcare gaps caused by cancellations, school closures, sick days, or unexpected work demands, reducing stress and missed time.
When childcare falls through, Helpr helps employees quickly access reliable last minute same day babysitter or childcare options through employer-supported backup care. Our app-based platform connects families with vetted providers, flexible My Choice reimbursements, and care benefits designed to reduce stress, missed workdays, and unexpected scheduling gaps—without making parents navigate urgent care needs alone.
Flexible backup childcare solutions for urgent gaps, employer benefits, trusted caregivers, and global workforce support.
Employer-funded or subsidized care helps employees cover sudden childcare gaps caused by cancellations, school closures, sick days, or unexpected work demands, reducing stress and missed time.
Helpr’s patented My Choice technology lets employees apply company funds toward trusted friends, family members, or neighborhood sitters when traditional backup care is not the best fit.
On-site childcare support for company conferences, retreats, and large meetings helps employees attend important events while children are cared for by professionally vetted caregivers.
Flexible digital wallets or stipends allow international and remote employees to offset local babysitting and caregiving costs, supporting distributed teams with practical family care access.
Integrated payment options help employees use pre-tax Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account funds directly within a care booking experience for eligible childcare expenses.
Personalized care-navigation specialists help families search for, vet, and place longer-term or specialized caregivers when a one-time same day appointment is not enough.
Employees access Helpr through their employer-sponsored benefit and review available care options for urgent needs, such as a cancelled sitter, school closure, sick day, or unexpected schedule change that requires same day childcare support.
